  Purpose: Advances in computational algorithms, hardware, and software continue to have a revolutionary impact on the combustion sciences and permit the examination of scientific and engineering problems of increasing complexity. Detailed combustion simulations and models are now being considered as part of integrated system applications. The Eighth International Conference on Numerical Combustion will focus on the integration of theory, modeling, and numerical implementation in the study of basic combustion physics and technological applications. The distinct questions and challenges found in combustion and phase transition arise from the multiplicity of length and time scales defined by the chemical, geometric, and flow ingredients. Physically descriptive, efficient, and accurate numerical modeling of complex phenomena and the design and implementation of complex, integrated simulation is the challenge to be addressed at this conference.

  Nonlinear Dynamics (NLD) brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, from Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, to Engineering, Economics, and Medicine, supplying them with a common language. We hope that EUROATTRACTOR Schools will promote the integration of development of NLD in Europe by attracting young researchers from many countries and from multiple disciplines to learn the methods and applications of NLD from leading scientists in the field, and by including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which utilise methods of NLD in their products. The overall objective is to have a harmonised, coherent and integrated European system of interaction between young researchers and leading scientists, between academia and industry, giving an opportunity of scientific exchange among seemingly distant disciplines, and, most of all, bringing young researchers in touch with "science in making".

  Objectives: The principal objective of EUROATTRACTOR Schools is to facilitate advanced multidisciplinary training in NLD. The planned topics of the EUROATTRACTOR Schools are:

  EUROATTRACTOR2000 - Nonlinear Dynamics in Biomedicine, Physics and Chemistry;

• Modelling of complex biological and physiological systems.
• Brain functioning and EEG.
• Time series analysis for medical applications.
• Pattern formation and imaging based on NLD.
• Control of chaos in biomedical systems.
• Dynamical systems - mathematical and physico-chemical background.

  The onset and dynamics of a magnetic field sustained by the motion of an electrically conducting fluid (the dynamo problem), is typically one in which a multidisciplinary expertise is very important in order to solve even the most basic questions.
  The aim of the workshop is to facilitate interaction and discussions among three major research areas related to the dynamo problem: 1) large scale simulations 2) nonlinear dynamics - bifurcations, chaos and spatio-temporal data analysis 3) laboratory scale experiments.
  A major goal of the workshop is to relate theoretical developments in astrophysics, MHD and dynamical systems theory to recent simulation experiments and to the real experiments currently coming on line. More details can be found at http://www.math.colostate.edu/~juliana/cargese.html

• First SIAM meeting on Computational Science and Engineering, 21-23 September 2000.

  Wyndham City Center Hotel, Washington D.C., USA.

  Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) is now widely accepted, along with theory and experiment, as a crucial third mode of scientific investigation and engineering design. Aerospace, automotive, biological, chemical, semiconductor, and other industrial sectors now rely on simulation for technical decision support. For federal agencies also, CS&E has become an essential support for decisions on resources, transportation, and defense.
  CS&E is by nature interdisciplinary. It grows out of physical applications and it depends on computer architecture, but at its heart are powerful algorithms. Much of CS&E has involved analysis, but the future surely includes optimization and design, and especially in the presence of uncertainty. Another mathematical frontier is the assimilation of very large data sets through such techniques as adaptive multiresolution, automated feature search, and low-dimensional parameterization.
  SIAM is conducting this conference on CS&E to draw attention to the tremendous range of major computational efforts on large problems in science and engineering, to promote the interdisciplinary culture required to meet these large-scale challenges, and to encourage the training of the next generation of computational scientists.
